Shelter in the Storm

When Maya Ortiz, a pastor's kid and burned-out teen photographer, meets Trey and his sister living in their car, she points her lens toward what most ignore. As the city pushes a "clean streets" ban, Maya's class builds a Safe Parking proposal, and Trey seeks restoration—not revenge—after one near-mistake. With church basements, small mercies, and courageous policy, Harbor House becomes refuge made real. A gripping YA Christian novel about dignity, restorative justice, and the love that turns neighbors into family.
